Just a funny story

I was in Hungary earlier this summer and I was trying to go to the bank to get some cash. I went to the door of the bank, and even though it said that you didn't need your card to open the door, the door still wouldn't open. A nice older man watched as I tried the door and scratched my head. He came over to me and asked if I needed help (in Hungarian) and because I understood what he said, I said yes. He then asked me something else, again in Hungarian. I didn't understand at all what he had said, so I told him, in Hungarian, that I didn't speak Hungarian. He said, in Hungarian, of course you do, you speak Hungarian very well!

It's tough when you speak enough Hungarian to get by, but can't understand everything.

So this sweet man and I proceeded back to the bank door. I tried the door, he tried the door, and it still wouldn't open. Until I got a great idea. I thought maybe instead of pulling on the door, maybe you had to push. Guess what! Yup, the door opened. That sweet old man and I had a very long laugh over that one!
